The customer service is always excellent, and the technicians they send out are incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable. I've even explored other options, but honestly, I'm very happy with ADT and don't see the need for change.”

“’ve remained with ADT over the last 20 years and they've upgraded my system to keep up with technological advancements. Each interaction with their customer service has been remarkable, offering an outstanding experience. Even when their representatives come for upgrades or installations, the process is seamless, with great support and guidance throughout. If asked for a recommendation, I'd certainly advise friends or family to go with ADT. They consistently provide top-notch service across all areas, including customer care and product offerings. My overall experience has been impressive, and I would rate them at the top of the scale.”
Kendall

“We always had ADT growing up and it just happened that the townhouse that I moved into was using it as well. It's been a great experience and we've never had any hiccups. We have one of those digital keypads. The guy came out and he was nice and quick. He got everything done and explained everything. It was perfect. I only have one exit in my house and I feel very secure. ADT is reliable. I can do things on my phone, like arm and unarm the house.”

San Antonio, TX Service Area & Local Process
The ADT San Antonio branch provides professional installation of the ADT Smart Home System throughout Bexar County and surrounding communities, including Schertz, New Braunfels, Boerne, Seguin, and Universal City. Beyond the urban core, coverage extends across an extensive surrounding region of South Central Texas, including Comal, Guadalupe, Kendall, Kerr, Atascosa, Medina, and Blanco counties, reaching north into the Hill Country, east along the I-10 corridor, west toward Del Rio, and south into the coastal plains. Professional installation times in the San Antonio metro vary based on the home, system configuration, equipment selected, and installation conditions.
San Antonio's position in Central Texas brings spring and fall thunderstorm risk, with flash flooding a recurring concern in low-lying areas along San Pedro Creek and the San Antonio River. Water and temperature sensors are a practical addition for San Antonio homes, particularly those in flood-prone areas along the river or in neighborhoods with aging plumbing infrastructure. With the metro area expanding rapidly along Loop 1604 and into the Hill Country, homeowners in new developments in Helotes, Fair Oaks Ranch, and Boerne also benefit from professionally installed and monitored security from day one.
